A few people can't digest lactose, OK
'service animals'
People with food allergies should be barred from eating at public places without inquiring if food they are allergic to is being prepared or sold to.
If you qualify for an ESA [(Emotional Support Animal)], you are in need of having that animal around you in order to create a better life for yourself.
Hmm.... can I qualify for an ESF ? (Emotional Support Firearm) . I feel a lot safer walking around with an M16; anything less would simply not be enough!
It's almost all self-absorbed bullshit. A few people can't digest lactose, OK
The recent trend toward "discovering" your food allergies is very similar to "discovering" your abnormal sexuality.
Say, whatever happened to that feature that highlighted the words you and your?
I demand to be treated special, or as a normal person, as the situation benefits me.
"I am a Heteroflexible, Purple Haired, unemployed 28-year old, Intolerant to Peanuts, with social anxiety, and a huge ass wing tattoo above my cleavage and another new rose one that extends from my upper arm to my elbow, and a bunch of stars behind my ear. I demand to be treated special, or as a normal person, as the situation benefits me."
The allergy I hate the most having kids is peanut allergies. I've yet to meet just ONE person with a peanut allergy. Kid or adult. Being very serious.
We're now banned from packing a god damn PB&J to any organized kid function because of these unicorn kids with an allergy I've yet to know anyone to actually have. How about you teach your kid not to touch nuts (there's a joke there, right) or other peoples food? A classic childhood staple has now gone to shit because 1 in a million kids swells up when they even see a nut.
It's happening with a lot of things now. We make the majority bend over backwards for a tiny, tiny minority of people. Hell, probably 50 years ago you'd just die from the peanut you ate and we'd all be better for it. But now you can't send a fucking simple sandwich in your kids lunchbox because of these fucks. The weak would usually die young, but now they're breeding because of "allergies" or whatever. I think we're seeing the results of...
Peanut allergies are real and can be severe in extreme cases fatal that's why kids who really have that should always carry epipens.

I know it's real. I completely disagree though that the vast, super vast majority of kids should have to change their lives at all for it. There's a reason these allergies are more prevalent. We're breeding them back in cause they don't die like they used to. It's a jaded point of view, but they need to figure out how to live with it. Or just don't go out in public.
It's also eliminated a high protein, and not total shit food from many kids diets for a third of their meals a day if we're talking school days. If you've got an elementary school of 500 kids, there's what, probably 1-3 kids that "might" have a peanut allergy? In poorer districts the parents will just throw shit in the lunchbox. They've taken away a massively cheap option with the PB&J to appease a super tiny minority.

Schools should not cater to any dietary restrictions, unless they are add-ons, certainly not reduce the options for the majority. From elementary school age on kids should have been taught basic skills of life.
A meta-analysis found that death due to overall food-induced anaphylaxis was 1.8 per million person-years in people having food allergies, with peanut as the most common allergen.[30] However, there are opinions that the measures taken in response to the threat may be an over-reaction out of proportion to the level of danger. Media sensationalism has been blamed for anxiety outweighing reality.[44]

And that's for all food induced allergic reactions.
Far more people are killed by cars every day.

What they have in common is this:
* a demand for special treatment
* a justification of the demand by appeal to "innate" biology without evidence
* an ever widening dizzying array of fashionable choices in allergies and sexualities
Prediction: the number of "food allergies" among gays and lesbians will be significantly higher than among normal people because the psychology is the same.
Slowly the general public is realizing that they have been had by egotists on both counts. The appropriate and beautiful response from a French wine bar in San Francisco:
Yes!
